Issac, your concept is good, and if the trucks we all drove consisted of passenger cabins, you'd really have something. But the box which is the cargo bed is still there, and putting this shape on top will help, no doubt, but it leaves a fairly large amount of air which is at the rear outside of the bed at the top rim of it unmanaged. If you look at the design of my cap, I tried as well to manage the air as you have but I minimized the flat area's at the back rear corners. Also, you will want to figure out a way to make the bed able to be raised and propped in the rear so you can drive with it, even if your cap is very light, the size makes it very difficult to handle without 2 people, so popping it on and off isn't as simple as you might imagine.
